Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Option C is limited and specific enough to be the thesis statement of a good essay. It clearly states the main topic of the essay, which is the communication styles of men and women, and indicates that the essay will focus on the differences between these styles. Options A and B are too broad and general to be effective thesis statements. Option A is a mere declaration without any specifics while Option B uses the phrase 'This essay will be about' which is generally avoided in thesis statements. Option C is the most limited and specific sentence that can be used as a thesis statement. It presents a clear topic for the essay and narrows down the scope to focus on the communication styles of men and women. Option A is too broad and lacks specificity, and option B is more of an introduction than a thesis statement.
